What a sad existence that kid has. I hope they find therapy. Same goes for everyone in that group. There’s a whole world outside.

With actual people in it.

She seemed disappointed to hear that there were sequels

Lol

Imagine writing a whole-ass manuscript and then instead of asking readers for feedback or paying an editor to look it over, you feed it into Chat GPT as if it knew how to actually understand the words it was hallucinating.

To be honest, the one thing that LLMs actually are good at, is summarizing bodies of text.

Producing a critique of a manuscript isnt actually to far out for an LLM, it's sorta what it's always doing, all the time.

I wouldn't classify it as something to use as concrete review, and one must also keep in mind that context windows on LLMs usually are limited to only thousands of tokens, so they can't even remember anything more then like 5 pages ago. If your story is bigger than that, they'll struggle to comment on anything before the last 5 or so pages, give or take.

Asking an LLM to critique a manuscript is a great way to get constructive feedback on specific details, catch potential issues, maybe even catch plot holes, etc.

I'd absolutely endorse it as a step 1 before giving it to an actual human, as you likely can substantially improve your manuscript by iterating over it 3-4 times with an LLM, just covering basic issues and improvements, then letting an actual human focus on the more nuanced stuff an AI would miss/ignore.

LLMs cannot provide critique

They can simulate what critique might look like by way of glorified autocomplete. But it cannot actually provide critique, because they do not reason, they do not critically think. They match their outputs based upon the most statistically likely interpretation of the input in what you could think of as essentially a 3D word cloud.

Any critique that you get from an llm is going to be extremely limited and shallow (And there's for the critical critique you require). The longer your text the less likely the critique that you receive is going to be relevant to the depth in which it may be needed.

It's good for finding mistakes, it's good for paraphrasing, it's good for targeting. It cannot actually critique, which requires a level of consideration that is impossible for LLMs today. There's a reason why text written by llms tends to have distinguishing features, or lack of, that's a bland statistically generated amalgamation of human writing. It's literally a "common denominator" generator.

... I thought Rep meant agent

[-] [email protected] 32 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I would have thought the same if the sub name wasn't in the image. I've heard of Replika. It makes me genuinely wonder what affect an AI girlfriend will have on people long term both mentally and physically. It's just such an alien concept to me.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Ok so I looked it up and it's marketed as an AI friend. Redditor OP possibly thinks it is his girlfriend but nothing about the wording in the post to me suggests that without making an assumption

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

I installed it once and after a period of time I still couldn't get it. As she doesn't bring anything to the conversation (but reaponses on your input), she is mostly useless to me personally. But I can see desperate persons wanting to talk to a mirror if everything else fails.

I'll understand it for people buying those sex dolls once they're self cleaning. Until then... Well, they're called prostitutes, fellas. They're even less likely to repeat what you tell them to the feds.

If you let the semen rot in them the maggots add a nice feeling while you’re fucking them.

I knew your username was disgusting for a reason 😜

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

I don't think flies usually lay eggs in semen puddles but you're the expert.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 hours ago

Without context, that’s the only way to read it. That leads me to side with the Rep on this dude’s writing.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, without context the phrasing is kind of weird. Rep is short for Replika, a paid personal chatbot service. Most times I see it come up people use it as a psuedo-romantic relationship.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 hours ago

So did I and I’m confused by the post’s title.

My ai girlfriend didn't like my ai novel
